How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.20 per match at 21.2, economy 3.51, strike rate 36.3.
